What secrets do Ryugu samples hold? New study reveals early solar system magnetic history
Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.
Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

When did our solar system's planets form? Discovery of tiny meteorite may challenge the timeline
Analysis of an ancient meteorite suggests that rocky planets both near and distant from the sun may have formed at the same ...
A group of astronomers has found a solar system 116 light-years from Earth that seems to challenge current theories about how ...
To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other universities are analyzing tiny particles from a distant asteroid to learn more about how the outer solar system was formed and shaped ...
Most of our knowledge about the Solar System’s formation and evolution comes from the study of extraterrestrial rock samples called chondritic meteorites. These rocks, which are fragments of asteroids ...
